Opening Night Game Notes (4.5.12)

Well, it’s been quiet around here at The G-Blog, but not without a good reason. Tony Piraro and myself have been tirelessly working to get ready for the 2012 season, getting together the 2012 Gwinnett Braves Media Guide and the first edition of “Tomahawk Talk” that you’ll see at Coolray Field starting on Thursday, April 12. And, of course, there was the planning process for an unprecedented amount of media and fans alike for the first-ever “Atlanta Braves All-Stars vs. Future Stars Game” that occurred last Tuesday.

Now with most of that behind us and the season starting tonight, we’re ready to get back to blogging. We’ll likely have some pictures (and potentially audio) from that aforementioned “Braves All-Stars vs. Future Stars Game” to share with you in the next few days.

Manager Dave Brundage and company get the 144-game season started tonight at Durham Bulls Athletic Park in Durham, NC, first pitch scheduled for 7:05 PM. Right-hander Todd Redmond gets the Opening Night start. You can check out the broadcast with Tony Schiavone on WDUN 550 AM and 102.9 FM.
